What I did was a cut and paste of the text between the lines and paste the /etc/rc.* stuff into /etc/rc.d/rc.local paste it in right after the first paragraph . Then the stuff that it shows as pasting to modules.conf I do the same cut and paste of the relevent text only , in other words the stuff between the lines. Put it in /etc/modules.conf. I like kedit as my editor but to do this you have to open a console and at the prompt type in 'su' and then give the root password, then at the prompt type "kedit" and then in the small gui click on the open file folder icon and navigate to the /etc directory to make the changes above. You do need to do this so that it reads the sensors correctly. If need be do the sensors-detect as su again and it will take you through the whole set up once again. Once this is done you can adjust the sensors reading by changing the factor number to a decimal point value. Say to cut the temp reading in half just change the factor number to .5000 and so on. 4 decimal place adjustments can put you right on for starters but these readings are not 4 decimal places accurate. Look at them as aproximate and play it safe. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
